📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Feijoada is a bean stew that came from Portugal; in East Timor, red kidney beans, pork, and sausage are stewed with tomato and garlic. It's often made for family gatherings and Sunday lunch and eaten with rice. Unlike Brazil's black bean version, it's usually made with red beans.
